A recent example of that "island hopping" tactic is the "Cloud Hopper" hacking campaign, active since at least May of 2016. In October, DHS issued a new alert on the campaign, warning of a surge in activity by the campaign over the past few months.

Nothing says bought and paid for like the Chinese Politburo buying DNC candidates.
